Councillor Graeme Hoskin, Reading’s lead councillor for health, wellbeing and sport, said: “Sage Reading Half Marathon is recognised as being one of the key annual events for runners nationally and brings huge numbers of visitors into the town.

“However, it is also very popular among enthusiastic amateurs locally who help raise thousands of pounds for good causes as they pound the streets of Reading.

"There is always a great atmosphere helped by the crowds of people who line the route to cheer on the participants.

“As always, there will be a number of road closures throughout the day and I would encourage residents and visitors to check their journey plans ahead of March 17.”
